For the foliage between the arrangement I have used Cheery Lynn pine branches and Martha Stewart woodland branches. I inked the edges of the branches with tea dye distress ink.

I have adhered a 5mm white pearl to the centre of each of the rolled roses.

Here is a close up of Cosy Christmas Tilda with Apple Basket.

Do you think those apples look good enough to eat?

I sprinkled Frantage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts and adhered a few 2mm white pearls around the image. I have used ArtDeco glamour dust on Tilda's pom-pom and dotted Tilda's cheeks with a Inkssentials opaque white pen.

Inside the card is decorated with Maja Design paper and a Spellbinders Opulent Oval.

Hello, crafty bloggers.Firstly, I am so excited as I have been chosen as new DT member for Marvelous Magnolia.I am really looking forward to joining Rina and the other DT ladies.I will be posting my first creation as DT member here on my blog on the 6th February 2014.Yippee! Lol!!!On to today's creation...........I have made another shaped card. I love making them. Can you tell?

This is a commissioned Birthday card. I have chosen London Tilda from the Little London Collection 2013.

For the shaped card I have used 300gsm white Conqueror card and GoKreate large frames frilly #2 from Cuttingedgecrafts.

I have inked the edges of both the lamp post and lovely fence with spun sugar distress ink.

The Pippi butterfly on the lamp post is Memory Box.

I have frantaged the butterfly with shabby pink embossing enamel and coloured the centre with a pink Polychromos pencil.

I die cut a Spellbinders floral oval with Neenah cardstock and stamped London Tilda onto it with Memento rich cocoa ink.

I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils and inked the edges of the floral oval with spun sugar distress ink.

I have adhered a string of white pearls from Live & Love Crafts around the inside of the frame.

Here is the card with the tag removed.

The sentiment is Papermania occassions. I have sprinked around the sentiment with Frantage shabby pink embossing enamel from Live & Love Craftsand made it into a gift tag by punching a hole in one end and tying a bow through it with white shabby seam binding also from Live & Love Crafts.

The filigree corner is La-La-Land. I have inked the edges with spun sugar distress ink.

I found a fabulous tutorial in Magnolia Ink N0 4 2013 on how to make the Doohickey orchids.

My super bloggy friend sent me the Doohickey orchid die cuts

To create 1 orchid I cut off the pistol of the flower. I inked the edges of the orchid with spun sugar distress ink. I then coloured the pistol and the centre of the orchid with a pink Polychromos pencil and added some Ranger white perfect pearls to the centre of the flower.

I bent the orchid part with the two round leaves and pushed the leaves of the other one towards each other. I pierced a hole through the centre of the pistol. I coloured three white stamens from

Wild Orchid Crafts with a carnation pink Promarker and threaded them through the pistol, coloured flower and leaves.

I have used Neenah cardstock to die cut a Spellbinders opulent oval andstamped Tilda In Evening dress from the new Little Circus Moscow collection 2013 with memento rich cocoa ink onto it. I have coloured Tilda with Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils.

I inked the edges of the opulent oval with Tim Holtz spun sugar distress ink.

I used pink card to cut a Spellbinders floral oval and adhered the opulent oval onto it. I have inked around the edges of the floral oval with spun sugar distress ink and added white 2mm pearls to it.

I have made the shaped card with GoKreate frilly frames #2 and 300gsm white Conqueror card.

I have computer generated the sentiment in Word using Harrington Font 14 and cut around it with a smaller Spellbinders opulent oval. I sprinked some shabby white embossing enamel around the sentiment and inked the edges with spun sugar distress ink.
